- Glacial striation - Glacial striations or glacial grooves are scratches or gouges cut into bedrock by process of glacial abrasion. Glacial striations usually occur as multiple straight, parallel grooves representing the movement of the sediment-loaded base of the glacier.
- Glacial lake outburst flood - A glacial lake outburst flood (GLOF), also known as a jökulhlaup in Icelandic (A jökulhlaup is technically a sudden and often catastrophic flood that occurs during a volcanic eruption, but is also used to describe other sorts of glacial flooding), can occur when a lake contained by a glacier or a terminal moraine dam fails. This can happen due to erosion, a buildup of water pressure, an avalanche of rock or heavy snow, an earthquake or cryoseism, or if a large enough portion of a glacier ...
- Glacial Lake Minong - Glacial Lake Minong was a proglacial lake that formed in the Lake Superior basin during the Marquette phase glacial advance around 10,000 B.P.
- Glacial erratic - A glacial erratic is a piece of rock that deviates from the size and type of rock native to the area in which it rests; the name "[is based on the errant location of these boulders. These rocks were carried to their current locations by glacial ice], often over hundreds of kilometres.
- Holocene glacial retreat - Holocene glacial retreat had a profound effect on landscapes in many areas that were covered by ice at the Last Glacial Maximum. The many valleys of the Cairngorms, a mountainous region in the Eastern Scottish Highlands are littered with deposits from this period.
